Instagram Metrics Quiz

12 questions, instant explanations, and an honest verdict at the end. Most creators guess their way through analytics. Find out if you actually know what the numbers mean.

Reach vs impressions is the most missed concept: reach counts unique accounts; impressions count every display (including repeats). Eleven more questions like that below.

Question 1 of 12Score: 0

What is the difference between reach and impressions on Instagram?

Why it matters

Why take an Instagram analytics quiz?

Instagram gives every professional account a wall of numbers — they only help if you know which ones predict growth and which ones just flatter you.

Vanity vs signal

Follower count and total likes are the least predictive. Reach quality, saves, shares, and retention tell you whether distribution will continue.

The algorithm is knowable

Instagram publishes real ranking info — multiple systems, not one algorithm — and signals like watch time and sends per reach carry serious weight.

Compliance is a metric too

Meta’s messaging policy defines a 24-hour standard window after a user’s last message. Tools that respect it keep accounts safer.

Learn from every answer

Each question includes a short explanation. Retake after a month of studying your Insights and watch the score climb.

You get one point per correct answer out of 12. Your tier (Beginner through Expert) is based on that total.

Yes. Retake anytime — especially after a few weeks of studying your own Insights — and compare scores.

Reach counts unique accounts that saw your content. Impressions count every display, including repeats by the same person — so impressions always equal or exceed reach (Instagram now often labels them “views”).
